When we think about The Lord’s Prayer, there’s one last piece I don’t want to talk about. In fact, while writing each blog for the last three weeks, I decided to skip right over it. However, it is usually those issues we tend to avoid that need our attention the most. Today, we are going to take a long, hard look at the miracle of forgiveness. If you remember, several weeks ago, in the miracle of prayer – Part 1, we learned prayer is a […]

I remember as a kid wanting to always be first. Flailing my little hand in the air, as if to say, “pick me, pick me!” I definitely have the “me first” mentality. This is the culture we live in. As we continue to look at the miracle of prayer, through The Lord’s Prayer, we see an order that does not include me being first and there is a reason. Last week, we discovered lots of miracles intertwined within The Lord’s Prayer. Starting with God, as […]

As we continue to look at the miracle of prayer Jesus taught us, let’s go back to Matthew 6:9-13.  “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” See it with new eyes.  Have you ever looked at the Lord’s Prayer from […]

Even yesterday, I received a group text from a minister out of Charlotte, NC which read; “Do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Walk […]

God offers us the greatest gift in the miracle of prayer. Displaying this miracle through His Son, we get to see prayer in action and the power of it all. Today, let’s ask God to reveal this miracle of prayer in hopes of discovering what the miracle really is; connection with God. Prayer is the cord that connects us to God.  Last week, we learned that prayer is the cord that connects us to God. If we are faithful in prayer, God will make our […]

Who can heal our so little faith? Jesus! Who can make the blind man see? Jesus! Who can set the captives free? Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!  My mother taught years ago, if I was in trouble, scared or just needed help, to call on the name of Jesus. There is power in that name and just by uttering the words, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,” I was calling for help. It is a prayer in itself. I have used it countless times, from standing in front a […]
